Python Cookbook (3rd Edition, Chinese Edition)

Python Cookbook (3rd Edition, Chinese Edition) is the Chinese translation of the third edition of O'Reilly's classic Python recipe handbook, containing more than a hundred practical recipes written and tested for Python 3.3. The book has 15 chapters, moving from data structures and algorithms, strings and text, numbers, dates, and times, iterators and generators, and files and I/O, through data encoding and processing, functions, classes and objects, metaprogramming, modules and packages, network and web programming, and concurrency, to practical scripts and system administration, testing, debugging, and exceptions, and finally C extensions. Each section generally follows a problem-solution-discussion structure: it first states a concrete problem encountered in real development, then gives example code that can be used directly, and finally explains why the code works and what edge cases and trade-offs are involved. The authors deliberately focus on the core Python language and standard library while also covering common third-party packages, favoring approaches that demonstrate Python 3's new features and general programming patterns. The book is aimed at developers who already have some programming background and does not serve as an introduction to programming. It can be read in chapter order or used as a reference to dip into when problems arise, and is suited to being consulted after writing a piece of code to see what a more idiomatic, more Pythonic approach looks like.
